UNIQUE VEHICLE: BIG Chopper Motorcycle


This custom chopper is so big it won't even fit in the entire frame, but it looks like it is more of a roadside attraction than something rideable, but still cool.

CATS: BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY - CAT VERSION

 


Above is my cat Dave watching the cat version of Bohemian Rhapsody in the video link below.  

It was entertaining to me, but Dave seemed to freak out a little and jumped on the couch, perhaps plotting on working on his "singing" skills at 2am for revenge.

It is amazing how something that looks so angry is cute at the same time.

Daily New  has a short compilation of cats reacting to salads and they are not happy but it is funny.

WEATHER: Hurricane Ida's Remnants Blast NYC, Flooding Subways & Streets



Screenshot from video below

The video below is only one of the many that have been uploaded showing the flooding that is happening in New York and New Jersey; it is just one of the few that has a G rating.

I don't think I would have pleasant words either if my toilet was backflowing and flooding my entire home.

UNUSUAL DECORATION: VINTAGE COMMODES OUTSIDE A FILTRATION PLANT


 Photo: Source

This was posted on my hometown group where I was originally from.  It is outside the filtration plant.

Have to admit that seeing a group of vintage commodes, probably from the late 60s to late70's when having a commode to match to match your decor was a thing and turning the center one into a planter is not something you would see everyday and using them as decoration is saving them from a landfill.

UNIQUE PLACES: LAST CLAM SHELL SERVICE STATION IN WINSTON-SALEM, NC


 Photo:  Source

Atlas Obscura indicates the store is now abandoned and:

"The clamshell stations represented the transformation of a brand into a building, a symbol into a real thing. When Raymond Loewy designed the current Shell symbol in 1971, it had already gone though many incarnations. Although the original 1901 brand for the London-based Shell Transport and Trading Company was a mussel shell, by 1904 the scallop shell was introduced – possibly from the family coat of arms of the company’s founder Marcus Samuel, whose business would merge with Royal Dutch Petroleum Company to form Royal Dutch-Shell Oil. Samuel had a habit of naming his tankers after different kinds of shells, and he had a background importing objects from the Far East, including beautiful shells.

It wasn’t easy to make shell-shaped gas stations. The office and bathroom area were boxed in, surrounded by a bent wood and wire frame, and then covered in stucco. This last station remained open until the 1950s and housed a lawn mower repair business in the 1970s and 80s. In 1976, it became the first individual station in America to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places."

Screenshot from video below

From the description from the following video by FOBOS Planet:

"Breaking: At least 80 dead, 1300 missing, after heavy rain caused severe flooding in western Germany. Massive Floods in Erftstadt-Blessem, Germany (July 15, 2021). Record rainfall in western Europe caused rivers to burst their banks, devastating the region. Belgium has also reported at least 12 dead after the extreme weather, which political leaders have blamed on climate change. German Chancellor Angela Merkel has pledged full support for the victims. In Germany, the states of Rhineland-Palatinate and North Rhine-Westphalia were worst hit."

Please keep those affected in your prayers.

Umbrellas that open and close like this would be a great idea in many hot cities.



"Medina Haram Piazza Shading Umbrellas or Al-Masjid An-Nabawi Umbrellas are convertible umbrellas erected at the piazza of Al-Masjid an-Nabawi in Medina, Saudi Arabia.[1] The shade of the umbrella is spread in the four corners, and the area covered by the shade extends to 143,000 square meters. These umbrellas are aimed to protect worshipers from the heat of the sun during prayer, as well as from the risk of slipping and falling in the event of rain. Similar structures are built at the square of the mosques worldwide. At Al-Masjid An-Nabawi, there are total of 250 umbrellas.[2]"
